Vic Matt’s death has left the Nigerian film industry in shock, with colleagues mourning the loss of a talented and genuine creative voice.

Cassie’s tribute read:

“It is hard for some of us to see those who genuinely wish us well. You always dropped words of encouragement even when I was most silent.

In an industry of snakes and scorpions, you stood different. All you wanted was to make good films. You were a cool, calm and intelligent one. To be kidnapped and killed is a very heart-wrenching way to leave this earth. For all the times you made me laugh and looked out for me, thank you 🙏

NB: If you think I have something you desperately need, tell me directly or indirectly, I will stay far from it or hand it over to you. Chukwu ga ewetalu m ozo. Life is no competition. Being poisoned twice and unable to walk for a while is enough, you can all stop at that. I have no strength to fight anyone, I just want to shoot good films walahi. I’m tired. We can all live and prosper. Goodnight Vic ♥️.”
